Percepções de médicos residentes sobre o programa de residência em pediatria de um hospital universitário público

Abstract

Medical Residency is a form of in-service training based on supervised patient care. The teaching-learning process at the Medical Residency is complex and dynamic. It demands that the resident deepen and expand the meanings elaborated through his participation, while requiring the preceptor to permanently exercise reflective work, in addition to availability for monitoring, conducting research and care practices. This study aims to contribute to a reflection on the teaching methodologies used in the Medical Residency Program. It aimed to analyze the perception of resident physicians about the teaching-learning process related to the Pediatric Medical Residency Program of a University Hospital in Northeast Brazil. This is a qualitative research that used semi-structured interviews for data collection and included the participation of twelve residents of the Pediatric Medical Residency Program. The data were worked through content analysis. The results led to the identification of strengths and weaknesses of the medical residency program in Pediatrics. Such results enabled the construction of an action plan for the training of the preceptors of the Residence in question. First, strategic planning was carried out by elaborating a SWOT matrix and then an action plan for training preceptors, which involved holding a workshop to present the teaching strategy called One Minute Preceptor. As a product of this research, a technical-scientific report was prepared containing the entire constructive process about the teaching methodology used, and a technical manual to facilitate the realization of new workshops. Both will be presented to the coordination of the Medical Residence of Pediatrics to encourage the discussion on training in teaching for preceptors.
